If the model is more advanced, then the dishwasher will wait until it is filled with water, and if it is more outdated, then the dishwasher will drain in 1 minute.
Actions in case of problem:
- Inspect the Aquastop hose for malfunction;
- Inspect the drain pump for malfunction;
- Check the valve;
- Remove filter blockage by disconnecting it from the machine and cleaning it thoroughly;
- Find out if the pressure switch is malfunctioning.

The manufacturer made it easier for us to diagnose the breakdown. Because indirect signs do not always allow us to determine the location of the malfunction. But what to do if the machine does not work and there is no code on the display? Then you can start test mode in this way:
At the end of the test, the dishwasher should display a code accompanied by a beeping buzzer.
If this happens for the first time, reboot the system. This will help eliminate system failure, which happens during a sudden power outage.

Error E02 in a Kandy washing machine: what does it mean?
There are several reasons why error E02 is displayed in the Candy washing machine.
This may be due to the following factors:
In washing machines without a display, the LEDs indicate a breakdown by flashing. With error E02, you can observe the following: 2 blinks – pause – 2 blinks. Different units have different LEDs blinking. It doesn’t matter which signals exactly. The main thing is the sequence of flashes, which indicates the error code.
What does the code that the Candy washing machine produces mean?
This coding for Kandy washing equipment is not a rare situation. It appears most often at the end of the wash, and means it is impossible to drain the waste water. Because of this, the washing machine freezes and does not proceed to the next stage.
E03 stands for drain-related failure. But it can appear in a number of cases:
During the rinsing process, when you need to drain the water.- During the washing process, when the stage is completed and draining is needed.
- Code E03 alternates with other error codes (with E16 - with a lack of water heating, with E04 - with a breakdown of the pressure switch).
- A failure code appears and the machine to which the washing machine is connected is displayed on the meter.
Depending on the Candy model, the E03 error message may look different:
- "ERROR3";
- "ERR3";
- "E3";
- "E03".
In Candy machines that do not have a display, the machine signals a failure with a series of flashing indicators. On devices of different models, these may be different combinations of light bulbs.
The user needs to count how many times they blinked before the pause. In the case of error E03, this is 3 times, after which there is a pause, and then a new series of blinks.
Reasons for error E4 in the dishwasher
Any type of dishwasher is equipped with an aquastop. This is an emergency system that is triggered when the pan is overfilled with water. As a result, error E4 appears on the display. The situation arises for several reasons. To find out, first the pan of the car is cleared of dirty water.
Troubleshooting is done in the following nodes:
- Drainage pipes, hoses and other elements of the drainage system. They may become thin.
- Error E4 will occur if the inlet hose plug fails.
- If the drainage tube breaks off from the pump, it will pump water not into the sewer, but back into the machine. The rubber tube can come off when the clamp is loosened
- A malfunction of the pump itself results in the car flooding.
To find out why the dishwasher gives error E4, open its case, check all elements of the drainage system and the functionality of the pump.
If you knock out plugs when washing dishes
On days off, people usually do house cleaning, cooking, washing, ironing, etc. That is, on such days, especially in the evening, there is an increased load on the electrical network in the house. And so, for example, on one of these evenings you loaded the dishes and started the washing program. But during the washing process, the plugs in the entire apartment were suddenly knocked out. What to do and what is the reason?
Naturally, suspicions may arise that it is the dishwasher that is knocking out the light. After all, the plugs were knocked out while washing dishes. But let's figure it out:
Let's say a new dishwasher breaks the plugs, why does this happen?
Most likely, the problem is not with the dishwasher, but with the overall load on the electrical network, or the outlet into which the dishwasher is connected is faulty. Try plugging in another powerful household appliance (for example, an electric kettle, an iron) into the same outlet. If the light continues to go out, then the problem is in the electrical network and you need to call a qualified electrician. ATTENTION! Do not use this outlet until a technician arrives and do not turn on a large number of electrical appliances at the same time.
In rare cases, of course, sometimes there are situations when a store sells defective equipment. Well, what can you do, there’s no escape from it, marriage happens everywhere. It is possible that you came across a non-working dishwasher.
In other cases, when the dishwasher knocks out plugs (automatic, light, ouzo), we can safely say that you have experienced a breakdown. In this case, immediately turn off the dishwasher, unplug the plug from the socket and turn off the water supply tap, if you have one. And only after that call a dishwasher repairman.
Possible reasons why your dishwasher blows its plugs
- Dishwasher heating element malfunction. During operation of the dishwasher, the heating element is constantly under the destructive influence of high temperatures, as well as an aggressive chemical environment. Sooner or later, this element fails, water gets inside and a short circuit occurs. This requires replacement with a new part.
- The power button is faulty. The contacts can oxidize, which leads to poor contact, sparking and subsequently a short circuit. Then the machine knocks out when you turn on the dishwasher.
- Malfunction of the control board (module). Again, moisture ingress can cause the contacts on the dishwasher control board to oxidize over time.
- The network filter is faulty. This is an element in the dishwasher where current from the wire first flows. The fact is that this part is very sensitive to voltage drops in the network (which happens quite often in our country) and can fail.
So, we have looked at the main reasons why the plugs break when the dishwasher is running. As you may have noticed, sometimes this can be caused by a weak electrical network or a faulty outlet. But most often, a faulty part in the dishwasher is to blame.
If your dishwasher has knocked out the plugs, be sure to take the first precautions by turning off the appliance and unplugging the plug from the outlet.
Prevention measures
In order to encounter error code E03 as rarely as possible, you must follow these preventive measures:
- The drain filter must be cleaned regularly. And after washing things with lint and pellets - unscheduled.
- If power surges often occur in the house, it is necessary to install a voltage stabilizer in order to connect the washing machine not directly, but through it.
- Before putting things into the drum, you need to inspect them - check the pockets, sew on loose buttons in advance, etc. This measure will prevent not only blockages, but also equipment breakdowns.
- Washing equipment must be protected from rodents and damage by pets that can damage the wires.
- It is advisable not to install the device in a room with high humidity, as this will contribute not only to corrosion, but also to the development of mold in the tank and drum.
- The washing machine needs regular cleaning. For this, both home recipes and special preparations can be used. This will extend the life of the machine and prevent possible breakdowns.
Decoding the code
Error code e4 in a dishwasher means “too much water.” This may mean that one of the pipes is leaking, or the plug on the inlet hose has become unusable, which is why liquid has accumulated in the tank with a volume exceeding the permissible norm. You can repair this fault with the help of a specialist or with your own hands. However, the services of a specialist are expensive - about 8 thousand rubles, so it will be easier to do the repairs yourself.
When error e4 occurs, the aquastop emergency system is activated. This means that the pan is full, and now it’s impossible to do without at least the initial draining of all the stagnant and non-flowing water. This is an initial measure and in order to understand how to fix error e4 in a dishwasher, you will first need to disassemble it and repair the broken parts. Next, we will look at the possible causes of leaks inside the machine and ways to eliminate them.
How to fix a dishwasher yourself?
There are two typical problems with Bosch PMM models. They are associated with water. Users often complain about the appearance of the E15 code on the display. This indicates that the Aquastop protection has been triggered. But it's not always a matter of leakage. Follow these steps:
Sometimes the cause of operation is incorrect placement of the inlet hose gasket. It may have moved during installation. Therefore, make the connection according to the user manual.
Dishwasher won't turn on
Have you connected your machine to the network, pressed the "Power" button, but nothing happens? The lights on the panel do not light up and no sound signals are heard. Things to check:
It is worth checking the surge protector (capacitor). It is located near the engine. A visual inspection should alert you to swelling and burns. The part must be replaced. You can buy it inexpensively in an online store.
Leave problems with electronics and control unit to the specialist. Here you need accurate diagnostics, which is carried out with a multimeter.
Problems with water intake and drainage
In case of such a problem, simple carelessness should be ruled out. So, it's worth checking:
When installing a hose with Aquastop protection, you need to monitor its operation. When the system is triggered, the absorbent becomes saturated with moisture, causing it to block the passage. This is a one-time protection, so you need to completely change the hose.
It is important to service your dishwasher at least once every 1-2 weeks.
Maintenance includes cleaning the system from debris:
If there are problems with drainage, the pump does not necessarily break. Check parts for blockages:
Do-it-yourself dishwasher repair Candy
Before starting work, unplug the machine. Let's start with the most common problems - blockages. How to eliminate them?
Water does not fill/drain
First of all, check:
- Is there pressure in the main? If not, then wait for recovery.
- Is the shut-off valve open? Unscrew it all the way.
Actions didn't help? Then close the valve and disconnect the intake hose from the housing. Prepare a container, water will flow from it. Rinse the hose and then the filter with warm water.
Did the car stop before draining with a full tank of water? Prepare a container and disconnect the drain hose from the sewer. Drain the liquid. Clean the hose and drain. You may need professional help to clean the latter.
- Open the hopper door.
- Take out all the baskets.
- Unscrew the drain filter. It is located at the bottom of the PMM.
- Rinse its mesh from blockages.
- To check the pump impeller, remove water from the hole behind the filter.
- Remove the protective cover and inspect the impeller. It is recommended to wear gloves for cleaning, as shards of broken dishes may block the rotation.
Clean the filter and wipe the seals at least once a week. Ideally, this should be done after every wash.
Poor wash quality
If there is a noticeable decrease in cleaning quality, check the spray nozzles. The rocker arms are equipped with holes - nozzles through which water is sprayed. The holes also become clogged with debris. You can clean them with a toothpick.
